“Ryan took great care of my dog while I was out of town for a week. She stopped by my house 3 times a day and walked my dog in the evenings. She sent me cute pictures which I appreciated. I was so happy that she was in good hands while I was gone.”

“Kate did a wonderful job taking care of our two kitties. She was easy to communicate with, arrived on time and followed the instructions that I provided. I have marked her as one of my favorites in Rover.”

“Melanie did a great job on looking after my cat Hermione! She visited before the booked date for a meet and greet. She also sent lots of pictures after each visit. Hermione seems enjoying her visit and looks good when we came home.”

“Sonja was awesome with our cat! He is very social so I was worried about leaving him for 5 days but Sonja went above and beyond, she took such good care of him and had great communication, which put my mind at ease. 100% will be using her again in the future!”

“I am very happy I found Elizabeth! She took great care of my lab and rottweiler while I was on vacation. I booked Elizabeth for 2 drop in visits/day for 5 days. I left her very detailed instructions on feeding and playing, and she followed them to a T. She sent me adorable photos every day and my dogs looked so happy to have a new friend to play with. She is really great with dogs and my dogs clearly loved her. I was worried about leaving them at home while I was gone, but she gave me peace of mind with her daily check-ins which I really appreciated. I will definitely book her again in the future. Thank you, Elizabeth!”

“Alycia exceeded my expectations! I'm incredibly thankful! She is a high communicator and her thorough notes make all the difference! It allows for consistent puppy training and puts this nervous dog momma’s nerves at ease. I sincerely appreciate her patience and commitment in sticking with me as I adjust to pet ownership again. Her support is making my puppy’s healthy growth and development best possible. He’s taken care of perfectly by Alycia!! So thankful. Looking forward to our continued teamwork! 💪🏽”

“Having Linda drop in on my kitties everyday for 2 1/2 weeks has taken all the stress out of leaving them. Linda has been a wonderful pet sitter and their new best friend! Communication was excellent and I will definitely book her again.”

About: I grew up with three big dogs and loved every second of it! I am a middle school teacher looking to watch after your pets until I can afford my own! I am a teacher working a summer job from 12:30-4 most weeks until the school year! I am pretty available throughout the day to walk, feed and love your pets! I have countless years of experience in childcare and babysitting (which is helpful with pets as well). My apartment center has a wonderful dog park and I love to go on walks as well!

“Defining would recommend! We had a sudden family emergency that changed our plans and extended the time we would be away. They immediately stepped up to take care of the cats longer than expected, so that was one last thing we didn’t have to worry about. Super responsive and always sends great photos. Cannot thank you enough!”

“First time using Rover and Liam isn’t used to strangers so we were both a bit nervous. Punctual; being right on time for the scheduled appointments, responsive with great communication and regular updates. The photos are a nice touch and helpful. Exceeded expectations. Thank you.”

About: All my life, I have bonded with both dogs and cats, and animals in general. I have been told that I have an ability to connect with any animal effortlessly. While I have been dog-sitting for friends, family, and others for about four years, I also have worked as a Caregiver at CARE STL, an animal shelter in St. Louis. During my time at CARE, I fed, walked, played, and formed connections with over 100 dogs, as well as cats and other animals. After that, I started working as a server/bartender at Bar-K, to make money while still working in an animal-friendly environment. Since then, I have been a reliable, trusted, and consistent dog-sitter for many clients. The safety and care of any animal is always my biggest priority, and I promise that I will not disappoint! I currently am not working, as I have just recently graduated from Saint Louis University. In other words, I am more often than not, completely available to work anytime on Weekdays and Weekends. However, on June 1st, I will be starting an internship that requires 20 hours a week but my schedule is extremely flexible, as the internship is willing to adjust to whatever schedules I have. Because of my flexible availability, I am able to spend as much time with your fur baby as you would like me to. Whether it be cuddling, playing, or going outside, I will provide all of my attention and services to the care of your animals.
About: I'm a lifelong cat lover with more than 12 years of hands-on experience caring for my own cat, who recently passed away after a wonderful life with me. While I'm not ready to adopt another cat yet, I'd love to care for yours. I've also fostered a shelter cat, cared for a friend's cat for about a year during COVID, and cat-sat for friends many times. I work from home full-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day. Depending on your cat's needs, I can easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine and ensure your cat receives consistent attention, companionship, and care. I live in a house with a calm, cat-friendly environment and understand that every cat has its own personality, routine, and comfort level. Whether your cat enjoys playtime and attention or prefers a quiet, predictable space, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for during their stay.
“Danny and Jennifer have taken care of our cat many times when we go on trips, and they are always wonderful. I love all the pictures and the detailed notes they send after each visit.”


About: I am a very passionate animal lover. I know how important it is to give them the care they need and the affection and attention as well. I am looking to do this Monday-Friday. I will be available in the morning to mid afternoon. I am hoping to fulfill people’s needs and care for their pets. I have one dog and one cat. We luckily have neighbors who will care for them if we won’t be home until later than expected and lets our dog out if needed.
About: I’ve worked at a dog boarding and daycare facility for over a year now and have a dog of my own. I take care of him along with the help from the family.

I’m done with school May 8th and after that my other weekdays are also completely open! I have my own dog, Jake, who is very sweet and loves other dogs! I am able to stay at your house if necessary and unfortunately don’t have a fenced in backyard 🙁

About: I have had a dog my entire life growing up. My parents relied on me to take care of my childhood dog and I learned so much just by doing that. I am now 30 and got my own puppy about four years ago. I lover her so much! I give her biweekly baths, daily walks and hourly playtime! Whether it is a walk, daycare or overnight stay, you can trust me to love and care for your pup! I am a teacher so I have the summers off to take care of your dog! I like to wake up early and take my own dog on a walk to start my day. I have a very free and flexible schedule! I have a fenced in yard and mini Bernedoodle who loves all dogs! I am very responsible and my house and yard are extremely dog friendly.
“Thank you Mary for taking care of our pets! Mary was on time, quick, and no-fuss which was perfect for us and our pets. I would book with her again for sure especially for quick pop-ins like we needed.”

Murphy cat parents share their Rover experiences
Emily took excellent care of my babies. She was communicative and paid close attention to detail. My elderly cats and bearded dragon have a lot of special needs, but she made sure to get it all taken care of. She gave both of my kitties subcutaneous fluids without any problems. My rather shy kitty even warmed up to her enough to greet her and ask for sink water. I definitely recommend her.

Sonja was amazing! She was available last minute on a holiday weekend and did great with making me feel comfortable (it was my first time using this service). She also took time to let my cautious dog warm up, my pets were well taken care of! Will definitely recommend her and be using her again! :)
